Meilix is a customizable, lightweight Linux distribution based on Ubuntu/Debian with the LXQt desktop, designed for building branded event or internet kiosk systems. It comes with a web app (Meilix Generator) that produces a custom ISO image with pre-installed apps and features, which can be live-booted or installed on many machines.
Use cases
- create a custom branded linux iso for an event
- build a bootable kiosk system for internet cafes
- pre-configure identical linux installs across many pcs
- generate a live boot linux with preinstalled apps
- make a lightweight custom ubuntu-based distro
- freeze a linux system into a locked kiosk state
When to choose
- you need many machines identically configured for an event or kiosk
- you want a lightweight LXQt-based Ubuntu/Debian live ISO with custom branding and apps
- you prefer generating the ISO through a simple web interface
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, actively maintained distribution (project is in alpha and last released in 2020)
- you need a general-purpose desktop distro rather than a kiosk/event build
- you require modern hardware support or recent security updates
